    I'm envious................

    During training we should explore all facets of flight. Once you get into a particular aircraft you should know what it does, how it handles various conditions of flight. I agree with OME on his first post. An aircraft with a stopped prop glides a lot differently to one at idle, it helps to know your aircraft.

    Was that Muz's machine?

    To the original question.......................................yes

    He must watch a lot of netflix with all those TV screens 😁

    Sheer luxury

    Nev, you have a choice with a forced landing between (All things being equal) water or timber. Where do you go?
  8. Student Pilot
    I have always planned direct no matter what the country. If the choice is water or timber I always fly over the timber. All single engine aircraft, piston or turbine.

    Some of us have experienced navigation without GPS and any navigation aids 😁

    From the Wright flyer onwards canards have been toyed with, none seem to have made a big impact of commercial aviation?

    Yes there is some truth to what you say but it's not a critical as is made out. Just as an aside I held a CASA approval for OXY and TIG with both 4130 and aluminum. Never used it much and with having to sit the complete test at considerable cost every couple of years gave it up.

    Depends how it's welded, I've seen fuselages welded with TIG, not stress relived and had no problems. Oxy/Ace stress relives it as you go, with any process as long as you don't do full long welds in one hit. There's a few old wives tales about welding.

    Didn't know 737 had a splitter gearbox? https://www.betootaadvocate.com/uncategorized/rex-pilot-apologises-to-passengers-for-repeatedly-stalling-as-hes-not-used-to-driving-boeing/?fbclid=IwAR1M8KXg4RwDTSH56kfUfq8cn76isF82A20YHB3ec85bjyQtdPz_2c1ZLKg

    They might have changed, it's been years since I've flown around there. The way things have deteriorated with flying freedoms I would think it would only get worse.

    Not in Australia Jerry, they go out of their way to exclude GA, even making large airspace exclusions going out to areas that might only be used a couple of times a year. A good example is trying to get clearance to transit Williamtown coastal, if they do decide to let you through they make it as hard as possible. Don't expect it to change anytime soon, aviation is only going backwards in Australia driven by a Federal government with an anti GA bent and CASA who it seems want to get all aircraft out of the air.

    Those are interesting, the Newcastle one especially

    Depends on the individual aircraft, all different

    Try flying into Williamtown

    Trump is a lying cheating con man. He doesn't tell untruths he lies.........................................he has divided the US more, spewing hate and telling lies, he also lies. How can you lot defend him?

    Guido made a replica of that in Toowoomba

    Why did it take half an hour? As soon as you reached cruising height you would have checked GS on the GPS. Al this angst over a couple of knots or 250ml an hour difference in fuel flow seems unwarranted. Not as if you have a company on your back to minimize fuel flow and economy for maximum profits. The object is to go for a jaunt and enjoy the flight. If you constantly scanning graphs and charts to get optimum fuel flow and listening out for possible catastrophic failure about to appear your beloved pax might start to worry about your imminent demise instead of salivating over the seaside menu. You must be a joy to fly with 😁

    Or you could go on the ques you already have such as: Noise, slower you are the less noise Control pressure, slower you are the less pressure Control efficiency, slower you are less effective Angle of attack, position of the nose compared to normal flight All these things add up as total aircraft response, one alone can indicate All these things vary from aircraft to aircraft to some degree, to know the aircraft your flying is very important. If you only fly half a dozen times a year you are going to be more than rusty(Apologies to Rusty, I don't mean you 😁). A switched on experienced instructor should be able to teach these things. I do think a simple AA indicator in your line of sight would help you recognize all the other things that indicate slow flight. I'm not saying totally avoid looking at your airspeed indicator just listen to what the aircraft is telling you. After some practice you can approach without an airspeed indicator safely. Fire away!!!!!

    Of the estimated possible 400,000,000,000 airstrips in the world surely some sort of area should be included with the pic?
